 You're fighting a reanimated baboon skeleton

You place the baboon skull on the ground and set about the business of reconstructing a museum-grade baboon skeleton, imagining the kinds of awesome jobs you'll be able to get with that line item on your resume.

You grab a fossilized torso, prop it under the skull, and arrange four limbs around it. You step back to admire your handiwork, but before you can properly take it all in, the bones fuse together and the baboon sits up, breaking free of its rocky bindings with a thunderous crack.

Since there isn't a fossilized Jane Goodall nearby, you're completely unable to communicate with the thing, so you can't understand the dusty "eek ook eek" noise it makes as it advances on you. Once it throws a punch at you, you understand perfectly.

Hit Message(s):

It absentmindedly scratches itself with one hand as it punches you in the lower back with the other. Ooh! Argh! Ooh!

It produces a coprolite from somewhere and hurls it at your knee. Go ahead, look it up. We'll wait. Argh! Argh! Argh! (stench damage)

It removes one of its armbones and beats you about the head and neck with it. Eek! Argh! Oof!

It grunts as it kicks you in the leg. Oof! Ow! Ugh!

Critical Hit Message:

After Combat

• First time:

Defeated, your foe flees the scene, leaving behind nothing. Wait, that's not nothing, that's a necklace!

You acquire an item: fossilized necklace

• Subsequent times:

Defeated, the baboon stomps off into the distance, but not before you grab one of its teeth.

You pull your necklace out of your sack and stick the tooth on it.

Notes

• Appears on use of fossilized baboon skull with enough of the appropriate items.
• The bones are used up on loss (probably on use).
• Has special damage resistance. It reduces to 1 all damage except from specific sources.
